USA no longer supports international law

#1 Post by ksako8 » Tue Sep 11, 2018 9:34 pm

John Bolton's speech on the ICC makes it clear that the US no linger supports international law and claims exceptionalism as policy. Disgraceful.

This is not new. The US has always ignored international law and laws of other countries when it suits it. It is still strong enough that it can do this with impunity.

Of course, any country would act in the same way if they had the same power as the US (e.g. China and South China Sea international rulings). The US is not exceptional in that regard...

Yeah, it isn't like they obeyed any of the conventions on torture in the past.

The US is a terrorist state that has never adhered to international law. Yesterday for example was the anniversary of the US-organsied military coup in Chile in which a democratic govenrment was ousted and a brutal military regime installed, leading to thousands of civilian deaths, all stage managed by evil war criminal Henry Kissinger.

If it's an illegitimate court then those convicted by it must be freed and compensation paid to the families of those that were executed by the court! Free Jeslić, Krstić, and Martić!

the criminals you mention Telamor were not prosecuted by the ICC, but the tribunal for former Yugoslavia. Different court. There are many different international court in The Hague, the international capitol of justice.

Looking over the ICC's areas of investigation it seems to almost exclusively investigate African states. The only non-African area I can see is Georgia.

Afghanistan is one of the 123 countries. ICC only prosecutes when countries themselves do not/ can not.
Soldiers commiting war crimes in Afghanistan could be prosecuted if their home countries do not.

Can't have a discussion on international law without some healthy exclusionary nationalism now can we?
